Ideas #006: 21108 - Ghostbusters Ecto-1

[MartinP]

Nice compliment to the car if this comes to fruition, as it reached 10,000 votes.  With the piece count, though, it won't be cheap but would totally buy this.  https://ideas.lego.com/projects/60632

That would go with the car, but I have doubts of this idea becoming an actual set. The price/piece count would be too high for Lego to make it.

Its out on TRU, online and in my local stores.  It's also out on Amazon.  Good sign?

I have a hard time believing this set is on its way out already.

I thought target, walmart and b&****** have it

I am worried that the rage over 21109 and 21110 carries down to Ecto-1 and wipes it away. And I say worried as I have none of this one.

Me too... happy to have one for my personal collection at least.

They all do & also still at LEGO Shop at Home w/ a limit of 5. amazon being out isn't much to report. It's been in stock & out there repeatedly & rarely at MSRP for some reason.

My opinion would be the opposite, that the rage over the other 2 sets has taken any focus/interest away from the Ecto-1. Not that BP is the sole indicator, but there's barely been a word on here for 10 days or so regarding this set, so it feels like it's fallen by the wayside for the time being. I think this is around a while longer, but what do I know.

Went to TRU despite the website saying their out, and found one. On my way out I got stopped by some random dude asking me where I found the ghostbusters set, told him I grabbed the last one, offered me $20 even though I hadn't bought it yet. Needless to say even in 5 years when the movie celebrates 35 years I think this item will be wanted.

If the license rumors are true, then we are on 2 years ride with this one

It was just too available. What to talk about? The big question - will there be shortage around Christmas? It makes too perfect adult-targeted gift

Well, second best perfect, given the tumbler. But that's a different ball game

Tumbler is the inevitable gift you give yourself, Ecto is the one you give to others!

Ecto-1 although a better model will share the same lifespan as the Delorean. They're both licensed vehicles from classic cinema. I think we have time to perhaps see a small discount for the Ghostbusters car on Amazon in the long run.

[redghostx]

If you are in or near Salem, OR the TRU has 2 or 3 ecto-1 left in stock at MSRP. The 20% coupon works reducing the cost to $40.

Agreed I think it will definitely be around for a good while.

[teohwp85]

Time to revise our outlook given how the DeLorean is doing lately?

[mscheaf]

I have said all along this and the Delorean are going to be winners.

Building this right now with the wife and omg this thing already looks amazing, lots of fun to build!!

A two year license on this would make sense, given that the new movie (series reboot?), will likely be release not long after the license ends.  However it is also entirely possible that lego already has negotiated, or has options in the existing contract, for the new movie rights.  If that is true we will likely see new sets in the future.  The only question is will this set live on, or will it be replaced by something else?

[Lokin4AReason]

I just bought this over the weekend and its an interesting set to put together

 

its an set that involves a bit of time and patience ...

 

from the looks of it, they thought this one through. what do you all think ....???

[fuzzy_bricks]

Here are a couple other threads on it.

I think it is better made than the back to the future set. There are other cuusoo concepts out for votes such as their headquarters. I wonder if this will pull through.

[richardcore]

This is a very nice set and a better build than the DeLorean IMO. I will pick up some more of these, hopefully the headquarters will pull through.

Did anybody else get a different character head for Ray in this set? sorry if this has come up before.

Maybe you're using his alternative expression or mixed up the heads? If not; is it a head from another set?
